Originally intended as a sequel to “The Big Goodbye”... but somehow we ended up here.

James and Andrew beam in to review “Manhunt,” a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that takes a sharp detour from its noir roots and lands us squarely in the flamboyant gravitational pull of Lwaxana Troi. Originally conceived as a continuation of the holodeck fun from Season One’s “The Big Goodbye,” this episode instead pivots to a more “romantic” pursuit — Lwaxana’s unrelenting affection for Captain Picard.

Is it a charming detour or an unwelcome filler in a season already peppered with lighter fare? That depends entirely on how much Lwaxana you can handle in one sitting. James and Andrew wrestle with that question and try to find the signal in the static of Betazoid theatrics.

A love letter, a misfire, or just a mid-season palate cleanser? Join us as we unpack Mantrap — the episode that boldly goes... maybe a bit too far.
